NCC, others rank among Nigeria’s best-performing public institutions

The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, the North East Development Commission, NEDC, and others have been ranked among the best-performing public institutions in Nigeria.

This is according to the Fiscal Responsibility and Institutional Performance Report released on Friday by the Transparency Watch Initiative.

Speaking on the report, the head of the transparency initiative, Dr. Ifure Ataifure, said the assessment focused on federal agencies’ fair practices, fiscal discipline, project implementation, regulatory efficiency, public responsiveness, and measurable contributions to national development goals.

The group ranked the NCC and NEDC highest, followed by federal government agencies such as the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, NSIA, the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, the Debt Management Office, DMO, the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, the Rural Electrification Agency, REA, and the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC.

“The NCC remains one of the strongest examples of regulatory efficiency within Nigeria’s public sector,” he said.

“Its contribution to digital access, communications stability, broadband penetration, and economic productivity continues to position the telecommunications sector as one of the country’s most resilient growth drivers,” he stated.
